LOL, naw.. the operator didn't know he was going to be filmed... that was just standard Maytown response. They are a good bunch of guys, a little bit on the wackerish side... but a good bunch of guys all the same. The last clip on that page is riding along with Engine 5-7-2 from Quarryville right he...

Train Horns on a Fire Truck

Back on the old board, Adam has posted a thread of this name. It was talking about the Walkersville Rescue truck... I never got to post the link to this video becuase I kept forgetting. If you go here http://pumpfire.com/wst_page9.html and scroll down to the "Maytown, Pa Rescue Squad 7-9 Respon...

That horn in the New Hyde Park clip is actually a Diaphone, albiet a really smooth sounding Diaphone. It is quite impressive of a sound though, I will give it that. I am not sure why this Diaphone sounds so good or has this particurlar sound.

I'll tell you what, nothing beats the sound of a pair of 4h and 4l Cunningham Air Whistles. A wonderful sound together and very attention grabbing. I was never into air powered devices until I heard my first recording of a set of diaphram horns, it was a 4H and 4L pair. It is from Manhasset-Lakevill...

I was sort of being sarcastic, I have seen the video before and I know it is a 2001. Just didn't think it was too great of you to be so harsh sounding with your reply, so I that is why I wrote what I did. I know that it isn't a good idea to side with someone because you feel bad for them, I have bee...

Someone used the Pottsville siren clip, said that he had on his site as something else. I looked the day that was posted, there is no where on there that he has that recording.. label...

Creative Engineering on an STH-10

This is a bit of creativity on this STH-10, I guess the old motor burnt out and they replaced it with one that has a belt drive set up between the new motor and the rotor shaft. It is quite creative and very unique looking, this siren is at the Fairplay Fire Department in Fairplay, Md. http://myspac...
